Unveiling Miracles: How Remarkable Sick Kids Restored a Doctor’s Lost Faith
Even when your child survives a serious illness, you carry the shadow of what could have been. The pain Dr. Macauley describes parents enduring throughout the book– losing their children to terrible illnesses– was never mine to experience, but for years my family stood at the precipice of it, hovering near the edge of a cliff we were terrified to look down. Dr. Macauley does not sensationalize this terrain. He simply lives in it with compassion and moral clarity and then invites us in.
Because I Knew You is essential reading, not just for medical professionals, but for anyone who has ever loved a child through suffering. It’s a quiet book, but its impact is seismic. In a world so often uncomfortable with death, Dr. Macauley invites us to stay present in life— all the way to the end, and then, mercifully, beyond it.
